Discovering Moths: Nighttime Jewels in Your Own Backyard from Down East Books Price: $13.27 Customer Review:  Moths generally get bad press.

Butterflies, their daytime cousins (although as Himmelman points out there are a fair number... |

Snuggle Piggy and the Magic Blanket from A & C Black (Publishers) Ltd Customer Review: I first read this book to my daughter many years ago. It quickly became one of my favorites.

Young George Washington: America's First President (First-Start Biographies) from Troll Communications Price: $3.95 Customer Review: I thought this book would be well over the head of my five-year-old son; it has more words on each page than he's used to (because it is geared for the young reader). This book is so well written that it kept his attention throughout. And when he realized that this was someone he had heard of, he... |
